South Carolina’s Notification and Victim Information system, commonly called SC-Vine, now offers a list of local and national groups that help victims.
SC-Vine’s new website and app are also easier to use, state attorney general Alan Wilson said in a statement.
SC-Vine allows victims and others to register for updates on someone in prison or prison.
More than 80,000 people signed up for updates through the system, Wilson said.
The system was started in South Carolina in 2008.
